Sociopaths can love, but not like normal people do. It is 'love' of a totally selfish form - the objection of their affections general gives them something they need or desire. The second they stop experiencing a benefit from said 'love', they will drop the other person without a second thought, usually in an incredibly sudden, cold and callous manner.

After season 2 I really wanted LaGuarta to be the one to bring Dexter down (because she was the only one who believed in Doakes' innocence) but I thought it would be Deb. Now that it's going down the LaGuarta way, I'm so frickin' excited.

It was nice to finish the episode not feeling like Dexter had been a total douche throughout the whole thing. I really like Hannah but Dexter is so passive and blahhh with her so it was nice to actually see something happen with his character.

It really is deplorable. He is now taking responsibility for wanting to kill people and now he's gonna have to see that no matter how much he talks about wanting to protect the people he loves. Harrison, Deb, Rita. It has always been about what Dexter wants.

That was the thing that had me hating Dexter from them on, I still blame him 10000% for it. :/ And I've hated the seasons since, but I think that's more because of shitty storytelling than just the absence of Rita.

PLZ MAKE IT STOP. Tonights ep was soooo bad. The dialogue.. "sink or swim, daddy", Dexter's whole speech to the arsonist, "I think I love you too"... who the fuck wrote this ep, Cassandra Clare? It was like bad fanfic.

I literally hate the character of Dexter rn. Abandoning his whole code for this simple Hannah McKay bish? No thx u bai

Yeah, they're trying to make Dex unlikable so we're okay with how it ends. I get it, but it still pisses me off. He's totally different and I don't think they did enough to make the changes believable. At this point I hope Harrison ends up with his grandparents.

its so predictable tho. A better show would keep Dexter how he has always been, and then when he dies or goes to prison, the viewers can be shocked/upset/whatever. But they're just taking the easy route

I can kind of understand it - michael c. hall has always said he is really uncomfortable with the way people ~idolize~ or find dexter attractive and appealing. He's constantly said in interviews that dexter is a bad, selfish person and not someone anyone should find appealing. Seems like this season they're finally showing it.

God, Hannah's dialogue in particular is painfully unbelievable. What did she say tonight, something about a "stint in lockup"? Like, NO ONE TALKS LIKE THIS. When she was talking about her dad almost drowning her last week, she said he took her down "to the local pond." IT'S SO BAD.

I'm excited that it seems like La Guerta's getting close to figuring everything out with Dexter. I really want the show to end with Dexter dead, in jail, or on the run from the law but my brother thinks I'm a terrible person for wanting it.
